Book Reviews of Why Should I Save Water? (Why Should I? Books)

Book Review: disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars

This book was a disappointment because we have Green's "Why Should I Save Energy?" so I was expecting more. I have a problem with my four year old running through the house flipping on appliances, all the lights, then turning all the faucets on, including the spigot outdoors. "Why Should I Save Energy?" got the message across... we don't do this because electricity is generated from fossil fuels, and that's polluting and expensive, so we want to use as little electricity as we need to. That way we can enjoy life better.

The approach Green took with this book seemed bizarre to me, although not totally different from "Energy." In "Energy," the kids experience a blackout and have to sit around in the dark with flashlights. In "Water," there is some imaginary drought? Where there is no water left anywhere on earth? My husband agreed with me that it's kinda confusing when you're trying to teach kids about the water cycle... like water never goes away, it just evaporates? My kid is four years old and he's not going to turn the hose off because he's worried about some fake-believe drought where all the water magically disappears. Why couldn't she just stick with the basics? It costs us money to waste water and it creates pollution, so we should use as little as we need to. If you are looking for a general book about conservation, Greens "Energy" title is great. For water conservation, look elsewhere. Why Should I Save Energy? (Why Should I?)
